A rebound in oil prices helped underpin sentiment ahead of speeches by a number of Federal Reserve officials, whose comments will be closely parsed for clues on the pace of future interest rate hikes.

With about 90 minutes to go before the opening bell, stock futures are pointing to a 0.1 per cent gain for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and a 0.2 per cent rise for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq.

Elsewhere, Treasuries sold off following a two day rally that saw the yield on the 10-year paper decisively back below 2.5 per cent. Yield on the note, which moves inversely to price, was 2.7 basis points higher at 2.48 per cent.

The dollar index fell 0.6 per cent, with nearly all major developed and emerging currencies trading higher against the greenback.
